First Project

What this is

The first project is a small website a beginner can finish in one guided session.

Pick something real, but keep it simple enough to ship.

Why it matters

The idea you choose shapes everything — the plan, the design, and the build.

A clear, simple idea makes every step easier. A vague or over-ambitious idea creates problems at every stage.

What to do

Pick one idea from this list, or come up with your own:

• Cafe website
• Salon website
• Portfolio website
• Simple product landing page
• Bakery website
• Barber shop website
• Fitness coach landing page
• Tuition class website
• Photographer portfolio
• Event invitation page
• Home cleaning service page
• Small online menu page
• Personal blog
• Local restaurant website
• Freelancer services page

Keep this rule:

One idea. One sentence to describe it. Simple enough to finish today.

If the idea needs login, payments, chat, dashboards, or complex data — shrink it or pick a different one.

Common mistakes

• Choosing an app instead of a website.
• Picking an idea that cannot be explained in one sentence.
• Choosing something too personal or complex for a first build.
